Deep-Fried Cheese Balls
Description
It works for both a celebration and everyday meals. Cheese balls fried in oil are an excellent beer snack, but for me they're perfect with soups, especially light mushroom or vegetable soups. These balls are also a great accompaniment to chicken broth. Serve the appetizer at the table.

Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil until it begins to sizzle, set the heat to medium, and fry the balls until golden. If the heat is too low, the balls will absorb too much oil; if the oil is boiling too vigorously, the balls will burn quickly while remaining raw inside.
